A Nottingham Forest supporter from Bulwell is £250,000 richer this week after an amazing win in a competition to predict football scores.

The free-to-enter Super Six game, run by Sky Sports TV every Saturday, challenges viewers to guess correctly the scores in six matches.

And dad-of-two Stuart McClung (48) cracked it last weekend, defying odds calculated by Sky’s number-crunchers at 214,589-to-one! He’s only the fourth winner all season, from hundreds of thousands of entries.

“I’d like to think there was a lot of skill involved, but really it was a complete freak!” Stuart modestly told the Dispatch this week.

“I’ve been doing it every week for the last three months, just as a bit of fun on a Saturday morning. I shout out some scores and my wife Karen, who is also a football fan, says yes or no to them.

“I never even checked the results last Saturday, and some mates found out before me. When Sky rang, I thought it was a wind-up!”
